Blast From The Past

The weekend of October 5th we went up to Oxford for what turned out to be a mini reunion from my old days there. Andrew (Chalky) Chambers was in town -- his sister was married the previous weekend up in Inverness, Scotland. Alex and Sarah were back in town from their recent move up to Chester (North Western England, near the Wales border) and were also staying at Mark & Eloise's place.


Friday we got in around 10pm and met for drinks at the Honey Pot and had a late night dinner at the Opium Den (Mark's favourite chinese place). Saturday we watched some Rugby (Australia losing to England) in the afternoon and then watched New Zealand fall to Argentina in the evening (which was especially painful since we we watching it at Mark's place with his Kiwi neighbours Chris & Libby). The rugby (which involved lots of drinking) was followed by further drinking and dancing at good old Maxwells on the high street (wow those drinks were cheap there!). After closing that place at 2am, instead of doing the sensible thing and going home, the girls were keen to move onto our old favourite spot, The Purple Turtle until 3am.


Sunday was pretty chill as we watched Bond on Mark's sweet Sony LCD and we headed back to London. Overall and excellent weekend and great to catch up with the old crew.
